THERE HE IS THERE HE IS THERE HE IS!!!!!!! OH M GOD YOU GUYS IM GOING INSANEEE HE IS FIGHTING WITH LINK ITS EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED

AND THEN THIS PICTURE??? i think he was made the king (or some higher royalty) BUT WHATEVER IT IS IM HAPPY FOR THE MAN!!!!

you guys i am fucking FLIPPING OUT RN. that entire trailer was just so amazing with all the new people and the content im so much more hype than ever im cryin!!!!!

ngl im fucking terrified of how the fandom will act when the asian ccs get added and they are confronted with asian customs such as honorifics, asian cultural norms, and the language itself (ie words that are common in one language that sounds like a slur in another) and i know most of the fandom will be open and welcoming but idk im probably being way too pessimistic as someone who is asian and has seen the bs that people can spew esp regarding things like stereotypes

I"m not caught up yet at all but I'm gonna make a Bold claim...

... I could fix her...

yes i’m tired and angry at hbo max for not even bothering to give us scraps and yes i’m miserable and jaded about rainbow capitalism but also if we DO actually get a trailer tomorrow the extreme dopamine hit and the flood of endorphins that i’ll get from seeing new footage of edward teach will probably temporarily override any trace of bitterness about being continually done dirty by corporations for like, at least an entire week

already liking that the characters are more than "the charismatic skater" and "the romantic musician" (sorry Jamal and Ryan) and I think it's probably bc they don't feel isolated from each other. like the guys have personalities that get along or clash with each other too and they show it, and it helps them feel realer than just liking the same girl or whatever

and like that's not to say they tried to give them dimensionality, like you learn about Elliot's quirks and Roberto's family and whatnot but saying something is like half of the journey. like it's cute Alex nerds out on building things but it's a whole other thing that he purposefully stays out of drama and therefore has a better relationship with Raf and also is making sure the guys don't get injured when they're jumping on the beds. like that sort of more dynamic thing is way more fun. meanwhile i couldn't tell you about any of the s6 guys' friendships other than things I've headcanoned and also marshall/ozzy (which is why I think I've started to grown to like marshall after the season is over)

Just finished s9e12 and oooooh boy, oooooh heck. I'm falling into DW shipping again lol

gosh wait, i wanna gush about how happy i am over this gift. like seriously ....

like oh my gosh?????? i was striving for this kind of artstyle as i learn how to use aesprite (the pixel art program) and i had actually told myself, wouldn't it be real funny if I tried to insert rhys in the actual poster/full sprite image for creepy black? like i just imagine him at the back, a little more hidden and almost appearing silhouette like behind ghost? and that he's facing back EXACTLY like that?!?!?? it's a way to tell that he's connected to the story but he comes a little later (because he did indeed, come in late when carmine has been possessed)

it honestly felt like my dream became a reality right there, even if the dev simply just made rhys and carmine stand next to each other. also because that's like. omg. rhys in. THE STYLE!! the creator's STYLE. the lead artist for this all. it's all so insane to me im really glad how things turned out with rhys ;; so glad i stayed to make more of him..... and... um. love him.... in that way too HSHDBD

Oh is it litd/ tj appreciation hours?

I think one of the things I love most about hungar au is that it's so real with grians support group. He has people that will be there for him no matter what but there isn't the sense of "oh I could never be mad at you". His friends are furious. They're angry, and sad, and confused and hurt and they're still there for him but it's so clear that THEY are hurting too.

A support group is so important to getting better, and many times you'll here "oh its no trouble, I'll always be here for you" but being that support group isn't easy. Being someone's caretaker can be draining, and exhausting, and borderline soul crushing sometimes.

So many times it's overlooked how much recovery is painful for the support group, and no body ever wants to talk about it because they never wanna make it feel like it's about themselves and it sucks.

Litd doesn't shy away from that. Pearl is angry, confused, and probably filled with a dozen other emotions I can't put into words (in not a writer lol).

Ahhhh, I could literally scream about this for hours and even then I wouldn't be able to express how happy and SEEN these characters make me feel.

Sincerely, someone who spent years as someone's sole support group and eventual caretaker. -🌺

this is actually something that is SO important to me and something i really didnt want to shy from in the fic, which is that being someone's support system is incredibly hard, and it does hurt to see someone else spiraling. There are a lot of messy and confusing emotions in this kind of situation, and i really wanted to showcase that. Its rare to see any kind of recovery fic focus on the caretaker as much as the person going through it, and i personally find a lot of merit in it-- im really glad it resonates with you, because from the start i've always wanted this to be a major focus.

It's something that's gonna continue cropping up a LOT as the fic progresses-- especially with regards to the people who end up being Grian's primary longterm caretakers until he gets to a point where he can function by himself again. I have quite a few arcs im really excited to go into once we get back to Hermitcraft, and one of them specifically addresses the burnout associated with that concept. Honestly, i just really wanted this narrative to be clear about how there are no bad guys, only a messy and painful situation with hurt on all sides, and im really really glad i seem to be pulling that off so far :]

starlo huh haha funny the shipname makes itsel

guess who's officially dropping oouuuuuut✨✨✨✨✨

do we not all think our parents are prophets when we’re children?

you don’t know any better — you have no frame of reference. you can’t comprehend the vast unknowable, the infinite, because the world is so new and raw to you, like the first time you scraped your knees after a tumble on the sidewalk. do you remember the first time your parents were wrong? when they did something they told you only children did? when they told you lies with such clarity in their tone but you did not yet possess the words or experience to dispute them? how can you dispute what was taught to be indisputable?

every adult unwittingly plays God, and you know this because when a parent has no answer for a child, even kindly, even despairingly, there is a crisis of faith. an unshakeable force being shook. you didn’t know that adulthood is a cyclical ritual of the blind leading the blind.

how could you?
